I would suspect the Time consuming part of this task may be in the GridFilterBar.CreateUniqueEntries method. This is the place where the code loops though all the values in the column from the grid''s DataTable, and create another datatable holding the unique values for the combobox''s datasource. It might be possible to do this much quicker by using a sql query to get the unique entries directly from the ADO.NET data source. I am not positive on this, but it is something to consider.
You might consider using the GridGroupingControl in the 2.0.1.0 beta release. In this release, filtering is supported, but the actual FilterBar is not yet implemented, but it will be. I suspect it will be able to meet your requirements.

Hey Clay,
Actually I am not using a combobox at all. I am using the TextBox FilterBar, as referenced in your FAQs.

At this point, I would not like going with a product in beta. Partly because I have to have a solution by Monday. But, I will take a look at that in the next couple of months.
Cheers,
